Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/561
Is there any way for free accounts to use spotify-tui? Futhermore, why does spotify-tui rely on a api-key, and not just reproducing how the official client interacts with the spotify servers.
@Rigellute commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2020):
spotify-tui uses the Spotify Web API. To do anything useful (like controlling playback) requires authentication - with the additional constraint that the user has a premium account. This is part of the terms of service of Spotify.
And because spotify-tui is a client application (i.e. does not run on a server), the best user experience requires us to create an individual client id.
spotifyd more closely mimics the official client, but doesn't have a tui like spotify-tui
@berkemir commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2022):
I logged in with my other account which has not premium. How can I log in with another account? I deleted the config file which is in .config/spotify-tui. I also reinstalled the spotify-tui but both of them didn't worked.
